• LL.M. in Canon Law:

"This Masters degree programme is designed for those qualified in law or theology and for practitioners of church law. The course is for two years part time, and is taught over eight residential weekends over the two years.
The course examines systems of law created by churches to regulate themselves and by the state to regulate the churches. It concentrates on Anglican and Roman Catholic canon law, but other systems are also studied. The focus is not only on legal rules and concepts but also on canon law from theological, historical and philosophical perspectives.
The course is examined by means of assessed essays and a dissertation. The course covers: the foundations of canon law, historical development, constitutional church government, the rights and duties of ecclesiastical persons, law, doctrine and worship, the sacraments and church services, church property, and the relation of church to state law."
